For a while on Sunday, it looked like the Jaguars might not find the endzone. By the fourth quarter when they finally did, it was enough to earn a victory.

The Jaguars topped the Tennessee Titans 10-6 in the fourth game this season in which the Jaguars have scored 10 points or fewer. It was the first victory in those games and it snapped a five-game losing streak dating back to Oct. 20.

Playing without quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was placed on Injured Reserve last week, and without starting right tackle Anton Harrison due to illness, the Jaguars’ offense managed just 291 yards.

Through the first three quarters of play, the Jaguars were without a point. But early in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars completed a 14-play, 65-yard drive that was capped by a Cam Little field goal to draw Jacksonville to within a 6-3 margin.

As the Jaguars started to find some rhythm on offense, the Titans continued to struggle. Despite a strong running game by Tennessee running back Tony Pollard (102 yards rushing), Tennessee could not find the endzone. Three Titans’ drives ended in turnovers on downs, including their last two.

The result means the Jaguars and Titans both have 3-10 records with four games remaining. The two teams will meet again In Jacksonville on Dec. 29.

While the Jaguars’ players and coaches will feel a sense of relief at ending the losing skid, the win could have a far-reaching impact on the Jaguars’ future.

Entering the weekend, the Jaguars were in line for the first pick in the draft for the third time in five years. Instead, if the season ended today, the Jaguars would draft fifth. While Jacksonville will not be in the market for a quarterback, other teams certainly would be. The Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants and Carolina Panthers could all potentially draft a quarterback in the first round, making the top pick valuable as an asset to be traded.

The Jaguars will face the Raiders in Las Vegas on Dec. 22 in a game that will likely have substantial draft implications.

So, sure, celebrate the win. Feel good, or at least, less bad, as you prepare for the holidays. The Jaguars are still a bad team. Major changes need to occur before they are going to be a good team, and those changes are not likely to happen before Santa arrives, if they occur at all.

If the Jaguars were to win the rest of their games, they would finish at 7-10. The schedule is not very daunting. With the Jets, Raiders, Titans and Colts to come in the next four Sundays, the Jaguars might think to themselves that they could beat each of those teams. Then again, each of those teams will be looking at the Jaguars as a chance to win as well.

A poor team playing uninspiring football to end a season that isn’t going anywhere and might not lead to great change.

Isn’t that just the most Jaguar thing to do in December?
